there's a new poll that i want no share with you and voters showing romney ahead in florida. 51% to 44%. >> amazing. >> why do you they is and is this what you expected? >> i didn't expect it quite like this. i didn't expect president obama to fumble. and he did fumble. let's be honest. it's not that mitt romney did so well. it's that barack obama, our president, fumbled in the first debate. tuesday i expect for president obama to come out gang busters in a different format and do very well. but here's the important thing. as i said last time in florida, 24% of the voters are not republican, they're not democrat. they're independents. and independents are now paying attention, and they care a lot about reality, not just rhetoric. the economy means a lot to them. and i think they are leaning toward mitt romney for one reason, he doesn't scare independents. he's not that right wing conservative that newt guy ritchie or rick santorum is. he's considered a moderate to independents. that 24% in florida i think are the most important voters in the united states. >> he is certainly making hims

so if the polls are right, mitt romney could be coasting to an easy win. cnn's john zarella is at a polling place in tampa. john's, how's the turnout been? >> reporter: real good. this is actually the largest republican precinct in hillsboro county, the tampa area. about 3800 registered republicans here, and turnout has been very good this morning. a lot of people going before work. a lot of families coming before dropping off their kids at school. so quite a good turnout. there's 232,000 registered republicans in hillsboro county. i talked to the election supervisor a little while ago. he was telling me that they expected a very good turnout counting all of the early voting and the people that are likely to vote today could be 40 to 50%, he said, of that 232,000. so he expects quite a few people to vote today. here, kyra, is an example of the ballot we were talking about earlier. there's actually nine candidates on the florida ballot you can see there. the supervisor was telling me they got some calls from people saying, hey, can we have our ballots back?

now it is showing in some polls that it's neck and neck and mitt romney may be ahead of this. and with women, there's been a turn around in polling with women. do you think this is safkting the president's numbers, his endorsement of same-sex marriage? >> i wouldn't think so. it may do so, but i wouldn't think so. we're too far from election day to be placing much reliance on these polls. give us a couple more months and say yes, that's scary to hear or i'm happy to hear that. >> i think most people decide within just a couple of weeks, a couple of days or hours before the election just the same as before, you know, they pick who the actual nominee is going to be. and then everything is erased after that. i think you bring up a very good point, that most people don't decide until close to the election and most of it is just media and political fodder. but i want to ask you, since we're talking about politics, i want to talk about this proposal that came up this week, super pac funded by billionaire joe ricketts to bring back the boogeyman of 2008, that's jeremiah wright. what

>> no, no, governor romney's a good debater. i'm just okay. >> president obama talking about zingers and trying to manage expectations for the debate. charles and ross are back to talk about whether that's a good strategy. i have a poll here about who's likely to win the debate and very clearly, people think that obama will, 55% to 31%. yet, i would say that the favorite really ought to be mitt romney, purely because he spent most of the year debating against very good debaters like newt gingrich and rick santorum and others. they were very capable opponents on a debate stage. barack obama hasn't done this for four years. so i would think the advantage would definitely be with the apparent underdog, a, because people don't think he's going to win and i think he may well win that first debate and secondly, because he's the more experienced debater. >> well, i think i would caution you a little bit. i think the president, when he has given kind of press interviews, that is a form of being pressed on things so maybe you're not deba
